Inside half a million dollar a week luxury superyacht Kylie Jenner chose to travel to Europe on

With her quarter-of-a-million boat, Kylie Jenner, who has chosen the life of luxury, reigns supreme this year. Rihanna and Jeff Bezos also made the decision to live in luxury.

As we watched through the lens of her drool-worthy Instagram posts, followers of Kylie Jenner couldn’t help but daydream about a ‘Euro summer’ on a yacht in Greece—until we saw the hefty price tag.

Floating somewhere along the Aegean Sea, the billionaire holidayed aboard what can only be described as a floating palace. But it wasn’t just any mega yacht, it was the iconic maritime masterpiece known as the Lady Britt.

The 207-foot boat was built by the well-known Dutch shipyard Feadship in 2011 and has a strong reputation because of her stunning design and facilities.

The boat was made for the high life, just like Kylie herself, and is rumored to cost an eye-watering $500, 000 for a single week.

The magic of the yacht’s staterooms, which can accommodate up to 12 guests, not to mention the 16-person onboard crew, can be found in its indulgent amenities.

There is no reason to ever leave the Lady Britt, and even the highest-paid celebs wouldn’t have many options given the cost of that. There is also an onboard wellness spa, hot tub, gym, and not one but two cinemas.

The 27-year-old joined her daughter Stormi, 7, and other well-known friends in soaking up everything Lady Britt had to offer, getting her money’s worth.

Additionally, there are two WaveRunners, two Jet Skis, and two Laser Pico sailboats for sea exploration.

If that weren’t enough to inspire your wanderlust, then wakeboards, kayaks, and scuba diving gear will undoubtedly ignite your wanderlust.

Of course, the yacht limousine that takes guests from their predetermined travel destinations back to their floating resort must be included.

It wasn’t just Kylie who chose to set sail this summer. In fact, there seems to be a trend amongst the elite for holidaying on luxury boats, and who better to set an example than pop star Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky?

The renowned duo would not need a hotel to host a party on the French Riviera, but a 143-foot superyacht called This Is It would be.

Following a Cannes film premiere, the boat was originally scheduled to cost €350, 000 per week to rent, but it was only used for a famous party for an A $AP Rocky and Ray-Ban collab.

Barbara Palvin, Kelly Rutherford, and Dylan Sprouse, the host and the Barbados singer, were just a few of the star-studded attendees.

Colombia’s President Petro accuses Peru of annexing disputed Amazon island

A long-standing conflict between Colombia and Peru has been revived by Colombian President Gustavo Petro by accusing the neighboring country of Peru of annexing a disputed island on the Amazon River.

In a recent congressional vote, Petro claimed that Peru had “unilaterally” asserted control over the small island of Santa Rosa in a social media post on Tuesday.

On the social media platform X, Petro wrote, “The Peruvian government has just taken it by law.”

He added that Peru’s actions could prevent Leticia, a city in Colombia, from gaining access to the Amazon River. To defend our nation’s sovereignty, our government will use diplomatic means.

Petro’s remarks appeared to be in response to a vote in June that gave the island of Santa Rosa&nbsp, a district in its Loreto province, its name.

Peru and Colombia have debated who controls the island for almost a century.

Treaties from 1922 and 1929, which Peru signed, have affirmed ownership of Santa Rosa for decades.

However, Colombia maintains that the Santa Rosa island was not a part of the Amazon River at the time the treaties were signed and is therefore unaffected by them.

Additionally, it has been claimed that the treaties established a border between Colombia and the two nations at the deepest point along the Amazon River and that islands like Santa Rosa have grown up along the same dividing line.

The Peruvian government has simply taken the land that has appeared north of the current deepest line and placed Colombia’s capital on the land that, according to Petro, should have owned by the treaty.

He warned that the claims made by Peru to Santa Rosa could stifle trade and travel to nearby Leticia, which has a population of nearly 60 000.

Leticia could disappear as an Amazonian port, according to Petro’s statement on Tuesday, “which could lead to this unilateral action.”

On Thursday, Petro announced that he would hold celebrations in Leticia to mark Colombia’s declaration of its independence from Spain.

In a social media post, the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that it would push for more diplomatic means of determining the islands’ nationality.

Colombia has argued for years that bilateral work is necessary to be done in order to allocate islands, according to the ministry. The statement continued that Colombia “has reiterated the fact that Santa Rosa Island has not been given to Peru.”

The Amazon River has the most water discharged of any river, making it one of the longest in the world.

However, the river basin’s powerful currents deposit and rearrange sediment, creating islands and occasionally erasing them.

One of those younger islands is Santa Rosa. The village of Santa Rosa de Yavari, as well as the forest and farmland that surround the property, are now there.

According to Peru’s most recent census, the town has fewer than 1, 000 residents, and is largely dependent on tourism because of its close proximity to the Amazon.

Santa Rosa was designated as a district by the Peruvian government to ensure that it received federal funding and authority to collect taxes.

Following the announcement last month that the retired WWE star had passed away, Hulk Hogan’s family and friends are said to have gathered in Florida for a funeral service.

The late Hulk Hogan’s family and friends are said to have gathered together at a private funeral this week. Loved ones in attendance commemorated the retired wrestler’s life, with pallbearers seen sporting an apparent tribute to him.

It was announced last month that Hulk, who was born Terry Gene Bollea, had died, aged 71, on July 24. It has since been reported that he died from acute myocardial infarction, known as a heart attack, and that he had a history of the heart condition atrial fibrillation as well as of leukemia CLL.

He is now said to have gathered with his family and friends for a memorial service this week in Florida. It’s believed that some famous people were present, and that pallbearers wore Hulk tributes in their costumes.

According to People, loved ones gathered for a funeral on Tuesday. It’s yet to be revealed which relatives were in attendance for the service in Florida though.

According to the report, the funeral home in Clearwater, Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park &, was where the service took place. When Hulk passed away, he had been residing in the city.

Pallbearers carrying the coffin at this week’s private service can be seen in a photo that was released by the outlet. The pallbearers were each seen wearing a yellow rose in their jackets to commemorate the occasion, dressed in black.

It’s thought that the roses were worn in tribute to Hulk, as reported by the Daily Mail. They are considered to have been a reference to his wrestling career, with yellow having been one of his signature colours for outfits when he competed.

Mourners at the service are thought to have included others associated with WWE. According to People, some potential guests were seen disembarking a plane prior to the service.

Former CEO Stephanie McMahon, who is said to have also been seen leaving the plane, was among the former wrestlers Triple H, also known as Paul Michael Levesque, according to the outlet. Kid Rock and Theo Von, according to reports, were also present.

However, it was later stated that the late media personality’s cremation would be a public or private service. Additionally, it was not clear whether it would contain elements of both.

As previously reported, a spokesperson for the medical examiner’s office confirmed a request for cremation to Page Six. As quoted in an article released by the outlet on July 31, they said: “I am not aware when Mr. Bollea will be cremated, only that we received a request for cremation approval.”

Trump says it is ‘up to Israel’ whether to occupy all of Gaza

Donald Trump, the president of the United States, has made the adage that he would not oppose any potential Israeli occupation of Gaza.

Trump said he is focused on getting “people fed” in Gaza when asked about rumors that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has occupied the entire Palestinian territory on Tuesday.

“I really can’t say how the rest of it is,” she said. The US president told reporters that that will largely depend on Israel.

Washington annually provides Israel with billions of dollars in military aid, an amount that dramatically increased since Israel’s occupation of Gaza in October 2023.

Gaza’s 86 percent of the territory has been militarized because of forced displacement orders Israel has issued to force Palestinians into ever-shrinking pockets.

However, more military engagements in the area’s remaining areas would put Palestinians at risk even more, since they already endure daily bombardment and Israeli-imposed starvation.

Concerns are also raised by Netanyahu’s alleged plans to conquer Gaza by Hamas and other Palestinian organizations regarding the safety of the remaining Israeli prisoners confined there.

A complete occupation of Gaza, according to Miroslav Jenca, a top UN official, “risks catastrophic consequences” on Tuesday.

“The scope of international law is clear. According to Jenca, Gaza will continue to be a key component of the upcoming Palestinian state.

In 2005, Israel withdrew its forces and colonies from the Palestinian territory, but legal experts claimed that the area remained technically under Israeli occupation because Gaza’s airspace, territorial waters, and ports of entry were still under Israeli control.

Right-wing Israeli officials have demanded that Israel’s military presence and settlements be reinstated in Gaza since the start of the conflict in 2023.

Trump himself echoed Netanyahu’s suggestion in February that Israel plans to remove all Palestinians from the region, which would be considered ethnic cleansing.

Trump at the time suggested removing its citizens from Gaza in order to build a “riviera of the Middle East” there.

In response to growing international outcry over the deadly hunger that is roiling the area, there have recently been reports about Israel’s plans to expand its ground operations in Gaza.

Since March, Israel has made Gaza almost exclusively a place where Palestinians can get food thanks to US-backed GHF sites.

Israel’s military has shot hundreds of Palestinians as they attempt to access GHF facilities close to Israel’s borders of control. Despite international pleas for the UN to give the aid, the US has remained committed to supporting the organization.

Israel has recently allowed some food trucks and airdrops to deliver aid to Gaza, but the aid is still far from meeting the population’s needs.

In northern Gaza, the Israeli military is also accused of attempting to drive aid trucks away from GHF sites.

Trump’s frequently repeated claim that the US has given Gaza $60 million was reiterated on Tuesday. His administration had given GHF $ 30 million.

According to him, “As you know, $60 million was recently provided by the United States to provide food for the people of Gaza, which are obviously not doing well with the food,” he told reporters.

“And I am aware that Israel will provide for that in terms of both money and distribution. In terms of the money and possible distribution, we also have the Arab states [who] are going to assist us in that].
